%description
The *AutoLoader* module works with the *AutoSplit* module and the '__END__'
token to defer the loading of some subroutines until they are used rather
than loading them all at once.

To use *AutoLoader*, the author of a module has to place the definitions of
subroutines to be autoloaded after an '__END__' token. (See perldata.) The
*AutoSplit* module can then be run manually to extract the definitions into
individual files _auto/funcname.al_.

*AutoLoader* implements an AUTOLOAD subroutine. When an undefined
subroutine in is called in a client module of *AutoLoader*, *AutoLoader*'s
AUTOLOAD subroutine attempts to locate the subroutine in a file with a name
related to the location of the file from which the client module was read.
As an example, if _POSIX.pm_ is located in _/usr/local/lib/perl5/POSIX.pm_,
*AutoLoader* will look for perl subroutines *POSIX* in
_/usr/local/lib/perl5/auto/POSIX/*.al_, where the '.al' file has the same
name as the subroutine, sans package. If such a file exists, AUTOLOAD will
read and evaluate it, thus (presumably) defining the needed subroutine.
AUTOLOAD will then 'goto' the newly defined subroutine.

Once this process completes for a given function, it is defined, so future
calls to the subroutine will bypass the AUTOLOAD mechanism.
